About the book

Jack and I, we did everything backward. On the day he lured me into his office, which was the first time I’d ever seen him, he proposed.You’d expect a guy like him, striking yet seemingly unattainable, to only as the love of his life to marry him, right? No…it was me—a complete stranger who had been recently dumped by her fiancé. You’d think I’d laugh, call him crazy and walk away. Well, I did all that, except for the walking away part.

It took him mere minutes to persuade me into a business deal—scratch that, marriage as he called it—and only days for us to officially tie the knot. What should’ve been magical and the happiest day of my life felt more like a nightmare. Jack Hawthorne was nothing like what I’d envisioned for myself. I blamed him for my lapse in judgment, his ocean-blue eyes and unapologetic gaze that drew me in, and that mysterious frown that would soon become my fascination.

Not long after he declared me the biggest mistake of his life, everything shifted. While he still didn’t speak much, his actions spoke louder than words. Day by day, my heart began to get a mind of its own.

One moment he was a stranger, the next, he became everything. One moment he was unattainable, the next he seemed to be completely mine. One moment I thought we were in love, the next it all nothing but a lie.

After all, I was Rose, and he was Jack. Our names alone doomed us from the very start. Did you expect anything else?

    This book was so beautiful. Rose and Jack have my heart. *cries* I loved every part of this book from the beginning to the end. It was just the perfect amount of fluff and angst. The tension. The slow burn. It couldn’t possibly be written better! I laughed, I was angry and I cried a lot reading this! It was an emotional rollercoaster but I wouldn’t change it for anything. It was simply perfect. If I had to describe the perfect contemporary slow burn romance it would be exactly this book. Definitely among my favorite books this year!!! ——————second read: still as in love. Giggled like a child at Christmas the entire time. This was exactly the palette cleanser i needed to start my fantasy month. 5

    Gutes Buch aber zu langatmig

    Rose mit ihrem Traum von einem eigenen Cafe mochte ich sehr. Ich habe sehr gerne gelesen, wie sie diesen Traum nach und nach erfüllt. Natürlich gelang ihr dies nur dank der Zweckehe, auf die sie sich einliess. Dieses Konzept gefiel mir gut mit der Mischung aus enemies to lovers und slow burn. Jedoch war mir das Buch ab der zweiten Hälfte viel zu langatmig. Die Seiten habe ich ab der Hälfte nur noch überflogen, um herauszufinden, warum Jack die Zweckehe unbedingt wollte. Persönlich hatte ich mir unter dem Grund etwas spektakuläreres erhofft. Nachdem ich den Grund erfahren habe, brach ich das Buch ab (etwa bei 3/4 des Buches). Ansonsten hat mir das Buch viel Spass gemacht, das Englisch war flüssig zu lesen und es war humorvoll geschrieben.

    Ich mochte es echt gerne. Für meinen Geschmack hat Rose bisschen viel und häufig geheult, aber manche Menschen sind halt emotionaler als andere. Allgemein war es ein gutes Marriage of convenience-Buch, auch wenn meine Erwartungen ein bisschen zu hoch angesetzt waren. (Dachte das würde ein 5/5 Buch werden)
